A final report for Climate Ready Boston, the city’s initiative to prepare for the impacts of climate change has been released by Mayor Martin J. Walsh at a press briefing accompanied by several department heads and other organizations and agencies.
Updated climate projections, a citywide climate vulnerability assessment and recommended climate resiliency strategies and a roadmap for implementation were included in the report.
Climate Ready Boston provided recommendations about how the city’s neighborhoods and infrastructure can respond to climate change and become more resilient.
Report findings will be incorporated into Imagine Boston 2030, Go Boston 2030, led by the Boston Transportation Department as well as resiliency planning led by the City’s Chief Resilience Officer.
The initiative was led by the city in partnership with the Green Ribbon Commission and with support from the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zoning Management.
“Boston is more climate ready today than it has ever been before,†said Mayor Walsh in a press release. “We have the knowledge, talent and resources to prepare our neighborhoods and businesses for climate change and will continue to cut carbon emissions, tackling climate change head on.â€
